GAME FILM
#9 Kenneth Murray VS BAYLOR (2019 BIG XII CHAMPIONSHIP)

#9 Kenneth Murray career highlights

Strengths: He has a excellent frame for a linebacker at the next level.
He is a special athlete that make sudden reactions to plays on the field. He has good range that plays downhill in a hurry with great recognition. His aggresiveness always put him around the ball and is a sure tackler. He has good range and a great radius to tackle. He has good motor skills and is always in postion for the next play. His coverage skills are averaged however he glimmered good skill as a pass rusher along with being a good blitzer.

Weaknesses: His laterally agility is a red flag, shedding blocks or shock is unacceptable, he tries to avoid contact at all cost. He allows the linemen to climb up at him at the second-level and control his movement with him allowing them inside of his pads. Does not create or force turnovers only three in his career. As a cover linebacker he lacks the skill dropping into zones or man to man for over ten-yards. He may only become a two-down linebacker at the next level.

Draft Grade: 6.49

Draft Projection: 1st round

NFL Comparison: Kwon Alexander
